After being reborn, I gained a childhood sweetheart who appeared out of nowhere.

Lin Chuan didn't stand on ceremony. He walked to the podium, his gaze slowly sweeping over the students below, and said with a smile, "Hello everyone, I am Lin Chuan, the acting class monitor during military training, and also the temporary class monitor during this period of school."

"During this period, I wouldn't say I did particularly well. I made some mistakes during military training and have deeply realized my shortcomings..."

His position as class monitor clearly showed he didn't want to be the class monitor anymore, since he would only get busier and busier later on, so Lin Chuan had no intention of continuing in that role.

"Class monitor, you're the best!" someone shouted at that moment.

"Yes, class monitor, you're the one."

"You're the one!"

"Don't choose!"

Everyone was making a ruckus, as if they were joking, or as if they were serious.

Liu Hao's face instantly turned incredibly ugly. Damn it, what's the point of him giving a speech in this kind of atmosphere? He might as well just make Lin Chuan the class monitor.

Lin Chuan also gave a wry smile. He hadn't even started his speech yet, and the atmosphere was already like this. Wouldn't he still have to be the one to vote?

He could only say a few words before stepping off the stage, but even with such a "perfunctory" response, the class still erupted in enthusiastic applause.

When it was Liu Hao's turn to go on stage, he was a little embarrassed, but he still forced himself to walk onto the stage.

Liu Hao cleared his throat and began to speak slowly, "Hello everyone, I'm Liu Hao. I'm sure you're all quite familiar with me. I'd like to run for class monitor again this time..."

Despite having memorized the speech perfectly, Liu Hao struggled to read it smoothly due to the atmosphere, even forgetting his lines a couple of times. He finished his speech in this halting manner, finally managing to say hastily, "Thank you everyone, I hope you will choose me."

Lin Chuan looked at him with some disappointment. Although the atmosphere was a bit bad just now, Liu Hao's mental fortitude was worse than he had expected. With this level of ability, how could he possibly "steal" the class monitor from him?

But then I thought about it again, and this guy is just a high school freshman. His mental fortitude is normal. It's unlikely that I'd ask too much of him.

"Alright, let's start voting now," Xue Ren said.

The voting process was simple. When Liu Hao's name was called, there were only a few scattered people besides his buddies. But when it came to Lin Chuan, many people were raised at once. Xue Ren didn't even need to count before announcing that Lin Chuan was the class monitor.

Looking at the result, Liu Hao wished he could disappear into nowhere.

"Let's congratulate Lin Chuan on continuing as the class monitor of Class 5, Grade 11." Xue Ren clapped his hands, and the class immediately erupted in enthusiastic applause.

Lin Chuan could only smile and nod in response, though he felt a little melancholy inside.

The subsequent selection of other class officers was relatively simple, because most class officers only had one person volunteer to come on stage, so there was no need for an election; the student who spoke was selected directly.

There were also some class representatives and less popular class officers, such as the math class representative, the sports committee member, the labor committee member, etc. In the end, these were simply appointed directly by Teacher Xue.

In the end, they completed the election of class officers for the entire class in half a class period.

Lin Chuan remained the class monitor, Cheng Xue was the Chinese language representative, Zhou Yun was the math representative, and no one was willing to be the academic representative, which ultimately fell to Chen Xiyu.

That's normal, though. Many classmates later found out that during the placement test, Chen Xiyu was not only first in their class, but also first in the whole school. With that level of ability, she was more than qualified to be the class monitor.

There's also Zhao Jiajia, the arts and culture committee member, Wang Guohua, the sports committee member, and so on...

After electing the class officers, Xue Ren began his lecture on the last afternoon before the holiday. Since the schedule was fixed, the last period every Friday afternoon was always taught by Lao Xue.

Seeing that there was still some time before school ended, Xue Ren didn't continue lecturing. He first handed out a few test papers, which everyone was already mentally prepared for, so no one said much.

All other subject teachers received theirs, but the Chinese teacher didn't; that doesn't make sense.

"You only have a few test papers left for your National Day homework. Now, I'm going to talk about the most important thing," Xue Ren paused, "that is, please be sure to pay attention to safety during the holiday..."

Finally, Xue Ren spent a full ten minutes on safety education, continuing until the school bell rang.

"Alright, you can go home now and enjoy your National Day holiday," Xue Ren said.

A cheer erupted in the classroom as everyone noisily got up to pack their things, turning the classroom into a chaotic marketplace...

In the evening, the setting sun casts long shadows on the road.

When Lin Chuan returned to his residential community, he felt that the whole community had become a bit deserted. He didn't see any children playing basketball on the basketball court, and the aroma of food in the corridor was gone.

It seems many people went on trips during the National Day holiday, since it's a rare long holiday. For example, the old man on the first floor who often asked him how his studies were going didn't show up.

Lin Chuan's family doesn't go on trips. After all, given their circumstances, travel is really not a good fit. As usual, he and Chen Xiyu ate at their own home and then went next door, a place they knew very well.

I turned on my computer, and the literary society's group chat was buzzing with activity.

"Let's get together during the National Day holiday?" Group admin Sun Yan posted in the group chat.

Everyone responded enthusiastically, after all, they had to give face to the group owner and the community leader.

"What are we gathering for?" Lin Chuan asked, posing a profound question.

"It's a gathering for new members," Sun Yan said. "I've read all your reading notes, and they're very well written. When we sit together, we can share our reading notes with each other."

"President, I might only be free tomorrow. I'm going on a trip with my family the day after tomorrow." It was Xiao Yu who spoke.

This guy was very nice to Sun Yan. He initially joined the literary society because of Chen Xiyu, but later he found out that Sun Yan was not only his president, but also the vice president of the student union.

He must have only one purpose in joining the student council: to become the president. Before that, he needed to maintain good relationships with the previous president and vice president.

It was only through a leadership transition that he was able to become chairman naturally, and of course, he was quite adept at handling such simple relationships.

"Tomorrow would be fine too, what's everyone's opinion?" Sun Yan asked.

Apart from a few who have already embarked on their travels tonight, most people have no objections. The literary society doesn't have many people to begin with, plus about twenty new ones.

"I know a really good pizza place tomorrow, let's go together, it's on me," Xiao Yu said generously.

"Young Master Xiao is so generous!" shouted one of the underlings who had joined the gang with him, offering timely support.

"You're quite generous, junior," Sun Yan remarked.

"It's everyone's first gathering." Xiao Yu replied with a smile. This was his way of getting along with the club members, very simple but very effective.

"Haha, although my junior is very generous, since I suggested this gathering, I'll treat everyone," Sun Yan said, seemingly a capable club president.

Lin Chuan was initially reluctant to go, but when he saw that someone was treating, he suddenly became tempted. Freebies are always attractive.

But he hesitated, after all, he wanted to write more manuscripts, and he was going to start serializing his novel during this holiday, which would definitely keep him busy.

"Are you going?" Chen Xiyu suddenly called out from the living room.

"I'll think about it some more."

"You'd even consider it if someone offered to treat you?" Chen Xiyu said. "That's not like you."

"Do I seem like someone who likes to take advantage of others?" Lin Chuan sighed. "I thought we knew each other well enough."

Chen Xiyu smiled and said, "Isn't that right?"

Lin Chuan smiled and said, "That's true. But I have some things to take care of during this holiday..."

Chen Xiyu blinked. "You're not planning to spend the entire vacation indoors writing a novel, are you?"

Lin Chuan was taken aback. "How did you know what I was doing?"

"I didn't look at your computer, but the frequency with which you type makes it hard not to guess what you're doing. You don't even need to write that many words to write a paper," Chen Xiyu grinned.

Lin Chuan grinned. There was really no way around it; when typing, the typing frequency was much higher than when playing games or watching videos.

"What did you write? Let me see it." Chen Xiyu opened her eyes wide, her eyes sparkling.

"No!" Lin Chuan refused without even thinking.

"Hey, stingy," Chen Xiyu said, sprawled on the sofa, peeking out. "A holiday should include a day of fun. We could go to a pizzeria in the morning and then somewhere else in the afternoon."

Lin Chuan was still somewhat hesitant.

Chen Xiyu said, "If you come out with me tomorrow, you won't have to clean this week."

"Deal." Lin Chuan said without hesitation, but paused for a moment, "It's a rare holiday, aren't your parents taking you on a trip?"

"Who knows if they'll be free," Chen Xiyu said casually, opening another chat window. "Xiaoyun, are you coming tomorrow?"

After waiting for a few minutes, Zhou Yun replied, "I have something to do tomorrow."

"Oh, okay then."
